Readers regularly interact with their newspapers in many different formats.

The online format references newspaper websites or apps, where the posted digital content/articles appear next to digital ad formats. A digital advertising campaign in newspapers reaches 6 out of 10 adults.

The traditional format includes print advertising in a physical newspaper, IN ADDITION to the digital version that appears online as an e-edition, in the same format as a print paper. An advertising campaign using PRINT newspapers and their e-editions can reach more than half the population (54%).

Format matters in newspaper advertising.

Younger generations are strong newspaper readers, driven by mobile access to news. An impressive 9 in 10 Gen Z (ages 18–27) and Gen Y (ages 28–44) adults read newspapers each week, using both traditional formats (print and e-editions) and online formats (website and app articles).

Gen Y (Millennials), born between 1980 and 1996, account for about 30% of the adult population. They are also among the strongest consumers of news and newspapersβ€”89% report reading a newspaper in any format over the course of a week. Millennials are considered the most educated generation, which aligns with newspaper readership.

In the 2025 survey of adult Canadians, Gen Z is between 18 and 27 years old, accounts for a smaller share of the adult population (about 15%), and is also a strong reading group. Like Millennials, they are highly educated but also the most ethnically diverse generation in Canada.

Surprisingly, given their digital-native status, more than two-thirds (68%) of Gen Z adults read traditional-format newspapers. This generation has grown up with technology, but still accesses physical media.

Both Gen Y and Gen Z are digital natives who use their phones for almost everything, including reading newspaper content and driving online format readership. They are also the most active in exploring alternative ways to access newspapers through e-editions, news podcasts, and publisher email newsletters.

Many newspapers now produce exact digital PDF replicas of their printed newspapers that readers can access online.

This digital version looks exactly like the printed newspaper (with the same layout, stories, photos, ads, and sometimes even flyers). These digital versions also include additional features such as commenting, zooming, scrolling, sharing, and searching.

There are many different names (e-paper, e-edition, e-replica, digital PDF replica) and terms for reading software (PressReader, Issuu). Some publishers, like GlobeToGo and ePaper Editions, give their e-editions unique names.

For advertisers, the added bonus of e-edition popularity is increased digital exposure for print ads. Print ads in the newspaper appear in the digital e-edition the same way as in the printed newspaper, often offering the same functionality as standard online ads.

Community newspapers need the support of the local business community to continue telling the stories that matter. The power of a local ad is just as important as the power of a local job. It helps build the foundation of community vibrancy.

Advertising in the local paper matters; just take a look at the stories told over the last year. Look at the local paper's effort into supporting all local businesses, week in and week out.

Shop Local. Save Local. Buy a local ad or support the local businesses that keep your community and its newspapers thriving.

Canadians of all ages read newspapers, and research shows that Millennials Gen Z are among the strongest newspaper readers in both print and digital formats. If your business needs to reach adults between 18 and 44 years old, you should consider advertising in newspapers.

The Newspapers 24/7 study has tracked newspaper readership by time of day and platform (print, computer, phone, tablet) since 2012.

Four out of five Canadian adults (86%) continue to read newspapers in both traditional and online formats over the course of a week.

Digital access has driven readership and provided new ways to access news content. The 2025 study has evolved to examine readership by format through an advertising lens.

Six out of ten (57%) people access newspapers in a digital or online format. This includes reading articles posted on newspaper websites or apps on phones, computers or tablets.

More than half (54%) of the adult population now reads newspapers in traditional formats: either in print or an e-edition (a digital version of the printed format).

It’s no surprise that digital technologies led by artificial intelligence have seeped into our everyday lives. The way we communicate, learn, and advance in society is increasingly governed through technology.

On October 1, 2025, the federal government issued an open call for recommendations on how to manage artificial intelligence in civil society, asking for actions to take when it comes to building trust, creating standards of practice, and ensuring AI is held accountable.

It’s no surprise that digital technologies led by artificial intelligence have seeped into our everyday lives. The way we communicate, learn, and advance in society is increasingly governed through technology. Tech’s sister and brother (artificial intelligence and social media) not only guide ou...
